Episode (podcast) info

[noembryo]

This is more of a question (or a feature request).
Is it possible to get info from an episode link like https://open.spotify.com/episode/5CZlLoGOibAGX9oLh26YEk?

Anyway, thank you for your library and your time.
It's been a life saver.. 👍

The current API does not support it. I'll add this feature request to my TODO. Thanks.

[noembryo]

Thank you..

[Aran404]

Do you think it would be more suitable to make a "PublicInfo" class that has all the paginators that don't require authentication? Or just keep it in it's respectable file?

[noembryo]

Yes, I think one class could be really handy.. 💯

[Aran404]

I thought that as well, I'll just point to the function in the original class to have backwards compatibility.

[noembryo]

Great! Waiting for the update.. 😃

[Aran404]

I've added the suggestions you requested, please test and let me know if there any issues.

[noembryo]

Nice.. It is almost a drop-in replacement, but has a few differences.

• Importing PublicPlaylist from public and doing info = play_list.get_playlist_info(limit=343)["data"]["playlistV2"] produces an error, but if I import from spotapi.playlist it works.
  To fix it I have to do

    info = play_list.get_playlist_info(limit=343)
    info = info["data"]["playlistV2"]

• Importing PublicAlbum from public and doing info = album.get_album_info(limit=343)["data"]["albumUnion"] produces an error, but if I import from spotapi.album it works.
  To fix it I have to do info = album.get_album_info()["data"]["albumUnion"]

Trying to get the playlist info using info = list(Public().playlist_info(url))[0] works fine and I can get all the items with items = [item for sublist in info for item in sublist["items"]], but unfortunately info does not include the playlist's title that I previously got with info["name"]
The same applies to the albums. Getting the items with info = Public().album_info(url) returns a generator for the album items, but there is no way to get the album's title that I use to get with alb_title = info["name"].

For the podcast part now.
I had no success with the test link I use.

• If I use the info = Public().podcast_episode_info(url), I get a generator with this {'data': {'episodeUnionV2': {'__typename': 'GenericError'}}, 'extensions': {}} in it.
• If I use this

        info = Public().podcast_info(url)
        for i in info:
            print(i)

I get an `IndexError: list index out of range`

These are my first observations. I'll keep investigating.. 🤓

Well, Public provides the paginators of the objects which has stayed the same from Version 1.1.1 and Version 1.1.2. I think you are confusing pagination (which parses the information somewhat) and getting the raw data. Also Public is a class full of static methods so what you'd do is Public.(methodhere).

[noembryo]

Well, my bad. Although Public.podcast_episode_info(url) uses the class' static method and Public().podcast_episode_info(url) uses one instance's static method, the outcome is the same generator with the same error.
And since I'm using the library in a somewhat wrong way, can you please tell me what is the intended way to get the data for a playlist, an album or a podcast?

Thank you for your help..

[Aran404]

To get the raw data, just use it the normal way by importing the specific class you want to use. Public just acts as an atlas to the underlying methods.

[noembryo]

A, OK.
Did you see the podcast's error?

[Aran404]

Yes I did, Issue #10 mentions it, will work up a fix when I'm home.

[noembryo]

Oh, thank you. I'll monitor it there.. 🙏
